Round 8 vs Souths

[Bred not Bought]

Middles Blacker & Henry on the extended bench. No doubt cover for someone.

Given all the rumours floating around probably a late out.

Plenty of changes? Its almost the same team as 2 weeks ago, only fish and martin missing, to be honest martin looked a bit underdone last week anyways

I do not believe that side will run out

 

[BossleyPanther]

strong enough team.

I expect a tight first half with us cruising home to a comfortable win.

I think Soni will have a big game.

I hope your right, short term around, playing up there and if we have Scott out might be a bit tricky. On the other hand we won't play as bad as last week and the Bunnies can't be on a high for too long.

If both Leota and Fish are out considering Martin is out we should temper our expectation. Just realistically probably don't have the fire power up front to go with them if Souths are on and playing well.

Rabbits are without Kolomatangi, Havili, Knight, Tatola and Shaq Mitchell from their forward pack.
No excuses from my point of view.

It's an even battle with the outs.

Same old story target Latrell under the high ball and with short kicks. Souths wingers have to work overtime to help him especially on kick returns.

I feel like this game will have Nathan Cleary's stamp all over it.

 

[martielang]

No excuses, they've got their fair share as well and were in a similar position to us in Rnd 2 with a lot of outs.

 

[Luke Bowden]

We just know how to beat them. I’m predicting a big game from Romey and Soni

Burges is levels above any prop we have left though.

Depends which Tom Burgess turns up.

Us 12
Them 10

Them having 7 days rest to our 5 days doesn't help us either.

I guess we have to take the good with the bad, don’t play the Wests Tigers till the following Sunday in Bathurst.

 

[Kilkenny]

Despite there injuries the Bunnies with there depth are still able to field a pretty formidable lineup.

Our main losses remain JFH and Liam Martin. Obviously not counting May who is out for the season.

50 - 50 this one, could go either way. Maybe, the short turn around works in our favour for those who were slightly banged up after the Knights game. They say better to back up early with those soft tissue type injuries rather than a longer lay off.

A win on Thursday night would be enormous if we can pull it off.

I’d take both Moses and Spencer over Burgess…

 

[Kilkenny]

I think Tom Burgess is a fine player, can be very damaging when he is on. Mistakes are his issue, has a few in his game which often crop up under pressure at the wrong time. When he just tucks the ball under the arm and goes forward he is very effective.

 

[Whino]

It is pretty dumb scheduling when you think about from the NRL. Playing Souths twice in 6 weeks.
We have been having a good rivalry with Souths the past few seasons. Both sides finished in the top 4 last season.
It makes sense to play this game on a Friday/Saturday night, or a Sunday afternoon.
Dumb as dog shit to play this on a Thursday night and have one side with a 5 day turn around.

Moses Leota enters the chat.

I said if Leota is injured. Someone earlier posted we'll have two players pull out due to injuries. Moses went off early due to a injury thus my post about if he's one of the two out. If Leota's fine we should win but we're relying a lot on him with JFH and Martin out.
